The situation in Papua Barat is becoming more and more heated.

Freeport-McMoran's antics are being scrutinized more closely. Will anything be done? It's anybody's guess. I have my reasons for thinking not.

A group of Papuans sought asylum in Australia, fleeing apparent persecution from the Indonesian government. Their fate is undetermined at present.

And a few days ago, some TNI troops allegedly shot some students, at least one of which was related to one of the aforementioned asylum-seekers.

Interestingly, people in Australia and New Zealand seem fairly aware of the goings-on, which are practically in their front yards. Most of the US remain ignorant.

Well, anyway, Jeff and I are staying over with Sam and Melissa. The guys are playing Worms, and Melissa and I are messing around on the computer (including posting on my blog) while waiting to watch some Buffy (I'm going to introduce them to 'Once More With Feeling', after which they will better understand Once More With Hobbits).

Um, let's see. I'm enjoying dreaming of becoming a parasitologist. It will involve much cuteness: See Giant Microbes and Parasite Pals.
